Resident Striped Bass Habitat Conditions
Maryland DNR Resource Assessment Service and Fishing and Boating Service staff have worked together to identify key thresholds and produce new resident striped bass habitat conditions mapping tools to help you identify the best water temperature and oxygen based fishing areas.
For more information on the development of the thresholds and assessment of Maryland conditions, see Development of Habitat Conditions - Pg 136-144 https://dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/Documents/FHEP-F-63-R-112020Project.pdf and Climate Change & Resident Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Habitat - slides 1-15 https://calendarmedia.blob.core.windows.net/assets/f1b5f989-a7b2-461a-b91f-629c5c95a01f.pdf
